    Nope, that makes perfect sense to me without which that or who.

    “Washington cats florida rats chase annoy vegas whores”

    1. The washington cats 2. Which florida rats chase 3. They annoy vegas whores

    It’s a question of where you put pauses and intonation, when sounding it out in your head (or to another person). If you read it monotone it makes little sense. Unfortunately, knowing how its said requires deciphering it first. A lot of english novels have stuff like this, you’ll probably find - you have to read sentences twice to understand what it means

        There’s probably no way for me to prove to you that it makes sense to me, unless you learn how to make sense of it yourself. I mentioned “which” and “they” because, as an english speaker knowing context about cats and rats, i can infer what connective could go there, but i don’t need it because without the connectives we get a more colloquial informal way of saying it all.

        Is english your first language or is something else ?

          Are you saying the following sentence is perfectly fine English?

          Quaterback Love Greenbay Packers drafted, played Detroit Lions.

          No. It’s missing at least one word.
